2021 XXI, Didier Dagueneau

2021 XXI, Didier Dagueneau

In 2021, Benjamin Dagueneau broke with tradition. A difficult growing season resulted in high botrytis pressure in the vineyards as harvest approached - and flinty soiled vineyards are particularly vulnerable to botrytis. So he decided to pick early and quickly. Instead of making Pur Sang, Buisson, Silex and Blanc etc... from the Pouilly side of the river, he blended all the fruit into this one cuvée. The result is a wine that dances somewhere between the floral eloquence of Buisson and the fresh precision of Silex. It is extremely dry, with a pithy, citrus finish. In many ways it recalls the 2014 vintage, but with a lighter varietal fingerprint. It's a fascinating interpretation of the vintage, and one that any Dagueneau fan will want in their collection.
